Looks good i suggest waiting till proper planting time next year though, the extra time they have outside will only be nulled out by stunted growth due to lower temps. Plant when the soil is properly warmed and your plant will be in general more vigorous and healthy.

Thanks guys!
Yes Blue I am using nutes, not sure on the numbers on the top of my head, but I'll be going up there soon so I'll let you know once I find out.
Thanks chronic, I'll be sure to do that next year. I guess this year I just thought "oh it's 70f inside I'm ok" but well, I'll for sure try it that way next time. I figured if I only grew a few plants this year for personal use it would be better then growing a bunch of plants and risk losing all my money lol!

Definitely true, with this grow I'm trying to get enough cash to buy a sliver surfer vape and a few other things while not having to worry about who has and if its good or not, also i get to choose what i want :')

Good point! Lol! I'd like to take my plants and harvest at diff times, some with cloudy trichs some with half and half, some mostly amber. So that way I know what I personally like :P
So I need an opinion. On the plant that I have not done anything with, you think it would be better to top it? I was thinking too about taking the top and making it a clone and putting that in the other empty bucket, I have till september before it turns to 12 hours, so I wonder if that clone would have enough time.

I would say make a clone, you have plenty of time, some of my buddies are just planting their seeds, I would recommend using lst after you top as well. The rule of thumb with harvesting is clear will give a clear headed high with soaring energetic effects, the more cloudy the more intense head high and as they turn amber more couch lock down and out effect, i like to pull one when its about 70% milky for my head high and one with 70% amber for that night-time special:shock:

Hey Cron, these sound like monsters, how long have you had them in there and what was the exact ratio? I would say if its been 2 months it would be safe to use a balanced nute at half strength, and increase gradually, and switch to plain water at the first sign of burn. From my experience with that soil is is pretty nute deprived, i bought a few bags for a vegetable garden and i use nutes there oo and its great! I'd love to see some pics peace

Uh i'm not sure, i upload mine to rollitup directly, but how many hours of direct sun are they getting? Are you medical? And the thing i don't like about clones is they don't have taproots :(

Okay haha, I know growing can seem overwhelming especially when your results aren't ideal, but the important thing is that you learn from your mistakes. I would use Advanced nutrients, thats the company, you want a higher nitrogen count which is the first of the 3, n-p-k, for veg or until you see your first buds, than i would recommend a fertilizer with a very low n and highest p and slightly less k. http://www.advancednutrients.com/hydroponics/products/bigger_yields_flowering_system_expert/bigger_yields_flowering_system_expert_product_information.php
That will get you through with good results, and any more questions feel free to ask

Hey it still works! :)

Oh this is my "cage" just what supplies I had at home. A tough plastic fence.


I thought this was cool, I topped the plant that had nothing done to it and I found this leaf. Showed no signs of growing a 5th part.

Oh and I made a total of 5 clones, 3 kept outside with other plants and 2 are home. I just need one to put in the bucket, but if I get others to grow then I will just plant them in the dirt and put small amount of chicken wire around. :) Can't wait to hear how your plants are doing blue
